So it is an opportunity for women
because the empowerment of women is
the empowerment of children and men
as well because it means that you don’t
have to work so hard and can have a
little free time. But, importantly, we have
a new generation of young persons who
are coming into the market and are more
entrepreneurial. They are going into
sectors that we need. They are going
into areas which are going to make us
competitive. If we ignore these sectors,
we ignore our competitiveness. So the opportunity has been given to
persons in that field and when we are
being given opportunities, we have a
very important responsibility to make
this thing happen. We want to see you
succeed because we recognize that
when you help a micro enterprise, that
micro enterprise can become a small
enterprise. When you help a small
enterprise, it can become a medium
enterprise. When a medium enterprise
becomes successful, you have a large
enterprise.
Working in the area of management
consultancy myself, I know that there
are persons here who are very happy
that they are actually able to help
small, medium and micro enterprises
flourish. You are actually helping in the
development of your country. Sometimes we forget who held our hands
when we needed to grow. The support of
an indigenous institution like ours is very
important. People will come to you with
a 0.5% difference, but you have to decide
where your loyalty and best interest lie.
I can say to you that your best interest
always lies with an indigenous institution
like ours.
It is good when we bring in persons with
external expertise to provide support,
but it is also very important for us to
ensure that part of providing people
with support is understanding the
cultural issues and cultural dynamics of
a country so that you can actually bring
people forward.

important for us to support you just as
it’s important for you to support us.
